Lucky Germany

a last ditch goal earned Germany there first World Cup at the exspence of Sweden did they deserve the goal? were Sweden unlucky?

I wanted them to get knocked out, they're so overrated and this World Cup they have been dire.

It's between Germany and Argentina who's been the worst.

You just knew they were going to score a last minute goal, Sweden were defending very deep and just letting Germany launch attack after attack it was bound to happen. I wanted Sweden to win but I thought it was a great winning goal and I guess that really they deserved to win if we are being honest.

I wanted Germany to fail myself, they did not play that well but Sweden lacked quality to punish them further than the opening goal that they got.

It would hope Argentina and Germany both go, Germany have not been very good so far.

so lucky its unbelievable they should be out, sweden played well better.

A bit harsh, Germany were down to ten men and seemingly on their way out but still managed to get a winner.  Sweden did what Notts often do, sat back and invited pressure rather than sticking to the game plan that had worked so well previously.  I'm no fan of the Germans, but I'm sure it's a bit more than luck that they rarely fail at major tournaments.  They have a winning mentality and strength of character that has to be reluctantly admired.

Scoring late on seems more luck than chance to me.

They played worse than Sweden, it looked like Sweden was playing a walking football team at times.

Was a daft free kick to give away ..! I sort of feel for the fan who if Kroos would have scored out sifrbthe area would have a **** of cash
